Expensive but worth the money. I have had these for a few months now and i am very impressed with the sound and ease of use. Great noise cancelling and the bluetooth works a treat.

Sound fantastic pretty light and a great better life. Sound fantastic pretty light and a great better life. Far superior to the parrot ziks i used to have.

A beautifully sounding disappointment. I would like to state that i have bought two 1000xs (the second one replacing the first), and have returned them both. Having owned them both, i was able to tell as to whether my original one was indeed faulty or not – and so the story begins. When i bought the 1000x, i was ecstatic at the idea of a nc set that sounds beautifully. And when i put it on for the first time, i couldn’t believe how wonderful it does sound indeed. The music output is sensational (especially if you have aptx and are not moving around – more on that later), the headset itself looks very beautiful and modern. The touch controls are very intuitive, and the selective nc is simply amazing. I was unable to hear -anything- in the tube – no other headset i know comes close. Then i noticed the creaking when i turned my head to the left. I noticed more creaking when i starting chewing with my headphones on. Here are the specifications for the Sony MDR-1000X Wireless tooth Noise Cancelling Ambient Sound Touch Sensor High Resolution Audio Headphones –:

Sounds great, but too bulky for me. Sounds great, but too bulky for me, went for a set of iems instead. If you wear glasses the seal isn’t perfect with large cans so the anc can’t do it’s thing as effectively. I did have a pair of qc25’s and i found the anc to be better on those. However, the sound on these is alot better.

Every song to which i listen through these cans is a breathtaking experience. I am not used to noise cancelling and so, while it is far superior in that regard to my previous listening experiences, i was surprised that it does let a decent amount of sound through. Also, when walking the headphones to make audible shifting noises (and for a while clicked periodically with my footsteps, which was very irritating). It is also frustrating that these can only be charged via a computer connection (not hugely practical). That said, the sound is immersive, the bass has a pleasantly strong drive, higher frequencies for both melodies and percussion are rendered beautifully and the sound quality suffers inaudibly from the bluetooth connection (perhaps i am not playing high enough quality music, but i doubt that my ear would be refined enough to notice even if i were). Every song to which i listen through these cans is a breathtaking experience.

The best noise cancellation. These are very effective in a noisy environment. I have tried many different solutions for listening to radio podcasts at the gym, in the hope of muffling the constant loud gym music, and these are the best. I previously had the bose qc25, but the noise isolation (passive) and noise cancellation (active) are better on the sony. Other reviewers have said that the headband is liable to break, so i also bought the amazon extra insurance for peace of mind. It puts up the price a bit but means i can return them within two years with no quibble if anything goes wrong. Altogether i’m very pleased (and so i should be at the price).

Really great sound – neutral and not overloaded with bass. The noise cancelling works extremely well – so good on flights. Only one small negative – it’s not easy to switch between devices/computers but that’s not a huge problem for me.

Probably the best anc wireless headphones on the market. Not bought on amzn but wanted to leave a review; frankly, it’s 4. 5* not 5*, but 4 is too low, so 5* it is. Good- good build quality- very comfortable and didn’t get sweaty after 3-4h on a flight- excellent hard case (how many high end ‘phones just come with a cloth bag?)- foldable (this and the hard case make it very good for travelling – and what i needed)- excellent anc, probably only bose do it better, if at all- long battery life- wired option if the battery runs out- sound (see below)not so good- i have a pair of b&o h6 – they are more strongly built, less plasticky and real leather- not pure reference sound, they are slight tuned to lower endsound- bass: thoroughly engaging bass with pronounced sub-bass and reasonably tight; they really thump and don’t muddle the other frequencies- mids: good presence, voices are forward and carry warmth while acoustics are clear- treble: would like these a bit more forward with just 10% more clarity and brightness; however, no sibilance- soundstage: good, 7-8/10 though i have heard a little better. Overall and having listened to bose qc35s, these best them in nearly all departments – the bose have marginally better anc and are also lighter and even more comfortable, but the sonys are better in everything else, including (importantly) sound and their comfort is excellent. They are a 5* pair for me as they are the complete package considering all factors and the supplied accessories – the only tiny gripe is that i would like a tad more sparkle in the treble.

In love with these headphones so far – nc works a charm, ambient sound mode and quick listen is wonderful, super coumfy and look really sleek. Will keep an eye out for the dreaded crack but for now – i highly recommend.

So, i own more pairs of headphones, and earbuds, than any human has a right to. These include sennheiser hd25, audiotechnica ath50x, and bose oe soundlink. Now, i’ve tried the bose oe soundlink side by side, in a bose testing room, with the qc35, and the oe soundlink sound better to me, by no small margin. The qc35 soundstage is cramped by comparison, and bass undefined. The mdr1000x, on the other hand, are amazing. Noise cancelling is incredible. Soundstage is beautifully balanced and separated. And i’ve only listened to mp3s via aptx, not even high quality audio files via ldacmy only niggly criticism is the cups could be a bit larger, to accommodate my ears without accurate positioning. But really, i can’t recommend these enough.

Amazing set of headphones. . Being an avid bose fan i was hesitant at going to another brand. The bass is excellent and very powerful. Reading other reviews about the headsets cracking leaves me confused i’ve had mine for 9 months now and i’ve not had any problems. If you look after your headphones then i don’t see a reason for them to break. Gym, travelling on the tube, flights, holidays and they are flawless.

I`ve had these now for 4 months. I was a bit hesitant at first to do so as there were quite a few bad reviews. Prior to actually buying them i tried many others both wired and wireless as well as reading hundreds of reviews. No one model really came out on top they all had buyers complaining about this or that. I am very glad i chose these. The noise cancelling is incredible i can sit on a noisy train or plane and hear. Maybe occasionally there`s a little bit of leakage but really only a little and nothing to really impinge on the consciousness.

I spoke to sony and amazon before ordering this item , concerning snap/ crack gate. Sony covers the item for 12 months and will replace if there is any issue. I thus far have had no issues. The cans are excellent , i hear parts of a song that i did not realise was there. I always buy good quality headphones , shures, klipsch and have harmon kardon in car. I am no audio expert , but this is the first pair of over ears that match the in experience of in ear. Comfortable and so clever to use. I also watched my kids going for it earlier, and could see there little mouths move faster , angrier , but heard not a jot — the headphones , should get better still when speakers bed in.
